The new title - which goes back to CoD roots by setting it in the Second World War - features a remastered version of the Carentan multiplayer map.

The setting originally appeared in the first game in the series and is a popular choice with longtime CoD players who will no doubt be happy to see it remastered for this latest title.

The game was only released today, but the reviews are already coming in. Here's a selection:

The prospect of a modern take on World War II is an exciting one.

What would the last ten years of gameplay, graphical and storytelling advancement bring to scenes that we’ve already experienced?

Unfortunately the Call of Duty: WWII campaign is not up to the task, falling into rote cliches and overly familiar territory.

While it returns to the era of classic Call of Duty, it neither captures the surprise of the early games nor the ambition of modern entries.

Rather than serve as a reboot, Call of Duty: WWII is more of a redundancy.

Daily Telegraph

Between its moments of good taste and a mode that’s more Bad Taste, it hits a consistently high standard – and though it’s mostly riffing on ideas we’ve seen before, it manages to make several of them its own.

The series’ dwindling popularity has proved a tough nut to crack for its publisher in recent years; COD: WWII proves that maybe a Sledgehammer really is the right tool for the job.

The 1944 European setting definitely provides for an interesting Call of Duty experience.

Taking a step away from a long stint of futuristic shooters – including last year’s far-future Infinite Warfare – this Call of Duty understandably loses a lot of the past games’ verticality and speed, but that’s not to say that combat is slow.

It does require a bit more patience in identifying targets, more accurate shooting without the assistance of a variety of high-tech scopes and sights, and tacks on a health bar for Daniels that requires constant attention, but enemies still drop fast and I still needed to keep constantly moving to stay alive.

The campaign production values are amazing as always, with excellent acting and motion capture, huge set pieces, and a fair bit of variety.

And of course, WWII shows serious dedication to multiplayer with the new headquarters social hub, the excellent new war mode, and a gritty co-op Zombies mode.

Whether you're interested in campaign or multiplayer, Call of Duty: WWII is the complete package and a must-play first-person shooter this holiday season.
